I’ve been in a little bit of a slump lately, not just artistically but in general also. Life has just been catching up with me and I let it. I just have to make some changes soon in order to carry on in a more positive way. It’s not any health or family issues, everything is fine in that regard,…

365-295 Three of one
It was almost dark and I didn’t have a photo for the day. My wife and I were out for a little shopping and dinner and my mind was more on that then taking a photo. I have to be careful to not let the 365 thing drive me crazy and need to realize I must have a life also! I did try…
365-286 Drive time
I had to work on a project today that required me to drive through the city. Since Pittsburgh does not have a beltway highway system, to get from one side to the other you have to either drive through the city or through crowded suburban roads. I haven’t done this commute in quite some time since most of my work…
365-281 Traffic
If there is a word that describes today, it would have to be traffic. There seemed to be heavy traffic everywhere today. Just getting around, anywhere, was a chore. My wife and I left the house late in the afternoon and I thought we would go into Oakland area of Pittsburgh to try to some architecture photos. Unfortunately on our way…
365-275 One stop potpourri
Three days and counting – it’s still raining! Plus it’s been getting colder. It’s really feeling like autumn around here but it will still be a few weeks before it really looks like it. Just like spring flowers, I’m trying to capture fall color whenever I get a chance. At least that is my intention. I can get easily distracted and…
365-268 Yeah, so it’s my birthday
It’s also my wife’s birthday, so that makes for a nice day together! I had another day off of work, which was sort of unexpected. Good thing too, because my lawn was way overdue for a mowing. Ooh, fun stuff. Happy birthday! We did get to have dinner at our favorite Mexican restaurant though and on the way spotted this industrial building…
365-247 Ain’t no sunshine
A cloudy and occasionally rainy day in contrast to yesterday. It was still overly humid though. But I did find some sunshine in this crop of sunflowers. This is the same place I shot the “Chicken People” image earlier in the year. I also played around with a few texture images. It’s still a holiday weekend so I’m keeping the…
365-246 Urban shots on a hot day
Yikes, it was around 100ºF outside today. I started the day trying to relax and doing a little shopping and lunch with my wife. After a late lunch, since we were in the area, I thought to take a quick ride through the Oakland area of Pittsburgh. Home of Schenley Park, Carnegie Museum and Library, Carnegie-Mellon University and the University of…
365-235 Two of each
Another day of watching my truck repair bill climb. Sigh. So with everything so crazy you just have to laugh and relax. That calls for lunch with my wife on the southside of Pittsburgh. After lunch on such a fine day, we enjoyed a little stroll and, of course, I took a few pictures. I have a couple of color…
365-232 I swear it’s unintentional
The past few days I have been posting warm toned images. The textured shots were very brownish, yesterdays bicycles were copper toned and today I have an ambrotype toned image. I never really planned any of those ahead of time, it just happened. Todays 365 blimp shot just cried out for an old-time look. The lantern photo just looked good in sepia. The…
